If it's a tiny fee, it's hardly worth doing because once you have a few tens of thousands in the bank it doesn't make any difference. I guess you can mentally amortize ship repairs & pretend that's a docking fee. If it's a large fee, it'll really kill those new Jamesons just trying to make a few...

Yes, ships that are missing their textures seem to show up as a nice, hot pink.

It works like the transporter in Star Wars, where you get lasered to death & then they make a new you out of poop & discarded racing forms in a new location.

I happen to be a slightly paranoid person and there is no way I'm going to store all my stuff where it could be potentially viewed by others. Save files are text, & thus compress very well, & it should be fairly simple to just zip them up (I'd suggest 7zip since it uses 256bit AES, but ther...

In my estimation the sort of people who drink bourbon are the sort of people who would drink 1/2 litre a day. Perhaps my prejudices are showing.

Micropayments.

I think it's more important to have a case where every once in a while, the tea maker starts talking to your ship's computer & all your controls lock up for 20 minutes or so.

I've seen "The Brain Eaters" and "Them!". RIP Leonard.

Right. Don't buy a new PC. Noted.

Aw, dang. 272 here. But yeah, any time there's someone aggro in the aegis, the rozzas end up trying to chill the station once they're cool, see? Maybe they gots pent up feels, yeah? You know, when you're gettin wit your peg-leg girl & she's just startin to get all "No but yeah but yeah but ...

The ol  Eel Rapier is kinda old school, but pretty nice for killin' & huntin'. Course, it's nothin' like the über ships of to-day, but back when I was a kid we all flew wearing comical barrels held up with suspenders AND WE LIKED IT!

A way of showing status throughout the animal kingdom is closely tied to how many mates you have. As such it is historically (however ethically and progressively unsound in a modern society) an indication of "bling". Ah, a money sink! "You have just recieved a statement from the Hoop...

Well, running 1.80, when the least bump against the sides of the docking bay induces a space-bar push, it's kind of nice to have something else take over while you grab another beer & make a sandwich (though the dorking computer is still only about 9 for 10 on the whole "not blowing up"...

I am in total agreement master cim. I can be somewhat flamboyant at times with the nature of my pros and this can lead to misunderstandings; but when boiled down, it is but a simple message: (and to quote a misquotation) “Reports of oolites death have been greatly exaggerated” Just waggishly paraph...

Space, is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big it is.
